okay, we both agree the advancement of technology is the biggest change from then till now.

So let me ask you this, If the technology today was available 30 years ago would your opinion change on what era is better in your opinion.

Also, if the technology from yesteryear, VHS, Thick ass playbooks (not e books), projectors, etc... were available today would the NBA suffer?


Finally if all things being equal technology wise between 1990 and 2020 which era would you feel is better?

IMO the athletic thing is vastly overstated. The 2 time MVP steph curry (Who people considered the best in the league) his game is predicated on skill way more than athletic ability.

It would be close and both eras have massive adv.

The old NBA had three-four year college kids to the pros. None of this one and done bullshyt where nikkas like Trae don't really understand how to win or play this game at that high of a level.

The new NBA got internationals. Them mfers changed the game. They come in at 19 more advanced mentally than those 3-4 kids of the old NBA. They just don't have the athletic ability as those then or the US kids now.

Steph wouldn't be Steph in the 90s. His skillset even in college was freakish offensively. He clearly had NBA training shooting with range. On top of that, Steph is one of the most trained players ever. He is trained as a machine. No one had that access to training like that in 1990. No one. Not even Jordan nor was he close. Steph has like five trainers. MJ was seen as magical having just one. Steph is also great movement-wise, stamina wise, hustle wise, and BBIQ wise. Green is like a QB. Klay would be impossible to guard in the old NBA. Their ball movement was magical that no team has come close to, to this day.

I don't like comparing teams from other eras because let's be clear, that 73 win GS team would sweep every NBA team from 1980-2014. That team made no sense for its era, it would have killed any era squad. No one could compete. They had the best tech. The best trainers. Coaches with the best schemes. They ran that M2M/zone split to perfection. Their screens were insane. They could all put the ball on the deck. Everyone had size. Everyone would be a nightmare for every era. It would be impossible to compete. LeBron needed luck and Green's suspension to beat them.

It would be close. Being able to have most of the NBA know how to play Basketball is a BIG DEAL which is the issue in the NBA today. That said, the talent pool is massive. Because of guys like Jordan, the training from kids starting at 5 years old for a sport is massive. MJ didn't start playing till he was 14. Bo Jackson mentioned there will never be another him or Deion because the talent pool on all sports is much too great due to advanced training.

What did you expect? This game is a game where players are making nine figures over their careers. nikkas like Kent Bazemore. The training to be in this league was going to be massive due to the money in the NBA. The money before the NBA, etc.

The game is just a lot more advanced today. That doesn't mean it better but the shyt kids coming in can do in 2020 is a lot more than kids could in 1990. It's not even close.

Last ep you def saw the lines between "journalism" and "entertainment fluff piece" blur big time. No follow up questions on Jordan being involved with a known degenerate criminal? No follow up on a $50,000 check, which was used in a criminal trial? Blaming the media for driving Jordan out the league is convenient but the gambling issue has always been a major issue that needs REAL journalism. Not fluff pieces. Not Jordan controlling the production and determining who can say what, and who can ask what.

Next ep will be about his dad's death. Will there be any discussion about the rumors it related to gambling? Will he be pressed to admit that yes, he does have a gambling problem? There's clearly something wrong there...and we won't know the truth until he dies. Because there's no way the NBA allows Jordan to dragged down by a massive gambling scandal. Sports journalists know about it...they've hinted at it for years.

I was great at ball. Small, but I had bounce. I was looking to go DII bench or DIII with playing time but opted for a better university for education. Best coach I ever had told me this. All you need is 4 seconds and 5 dribbles to either make a play or realize there's nothing there and pass it out. Then had us watch Michael Jordan highlights for a week. That's why I hate this dribble dribble dribble iso step back era.

Even Isiah said it recently, Mike would go left take two dribbles and find his spot then pull up. It was a beautiful thing to watch the mid range game

This era is far from overdribbling unless you watch the Rockets or the Hawks a lot. All you gotta do is watch LAC and it's a compact game they play in LA.

Luka (DAL), Bron (LA), Kemba (BOS) even tho I like who he goes North-South with a purpose, Kyrie (BRK) same like how he makes a move and scores, Dame (POR), Book (PHX), D lo (MIN)

Just a different game. Even Kobe, ballhogged for a good 4 years straight, but it was he got to his spot got the ball and shot. Not iso ball for 18 seconds

The game is night and day different. The tech, video, defenses, schemes, skills, and athleticism is far more advanced.

What I said might be worse is the overall BBIQ, the readiness of the players coming into the NBA, and wear and tear coming into the NBA.

But the players are a lot more ready skill, size, length, ability, and talent-wise than any other era today.

But the athletic reqs is so high that a lot of smart players just never get a chance in the NBA and couldn't keep up. The NBA is running more than anytime in history. It's not possible to play minutes in today's NBA as it was in 1998.

Is the game better today? Maybe. But it's a lot more advanced, that's a sure thing. The best players are much better today than they were in 1998. But the best players in 1998 would be better today as well. Will they be as productive, probably not but they would be better, for sure!

This is literally one of the worst posts I've ever read in my life.

MJ with the addict's classic line "I can stop if i wanted to..."

i shook my head like "damn it GOAT, that's the first thing YOU DON'T SAY when being accused of being an addict"


THE CEILING IS THE ROOF!

What I am saying is, you can see different styles from city to city. It's not early 2000s ball where everyone is playing isolation ball outside of a handful of teams. Luka doesn't really dribble dribble dribble that much this year. His game is a little more diverse on the ball this season. Kyrie, D Lo, and Bron can pound the rock but Bron is always looking to setup something. He's not looking for his points like Russell and Irving love doing.
